A presentation on a low-budget method to unmask users of a privacy tool, TOR, will no longer go ahead at the Black Hat security conference. The talk was nixed by the legal counsel with Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute. TOR is a network of distributed nodes that provide greater privacy by encrypting a person’s browsing traffic. The TOR Project is working with CERT to do a coordinated disclosure around Volynkin’s findings, possibly later this week. It’s rare but not unprecedented for Black Hat presentations to be cancelled.”]
